According to the 2002 census, 36,983,700 people, or 96.74% of the population, consider themselves Polish, while 471,500 (1.23%) declared another nationality, and 774,900 (2.03%) did not declare any nationality. The largest minority nationalities and ethnic groups in Poland are Silesians (173,153 according to the census), Germans (152,897 according to the census, 92% of whom live in Opole Voivodeship and Silesian Voivodeship), Belarusians (c. 49,000), Ukrainians (c. 30,000), Lithuanians, Russians, Roma, Jews, Lemkos, Slovaks, Czechs, and Lipka Tatars.

Not supporting the Maidan would be against basic values the Western countries share. Janukowicz may have been elected democratically but then he became Putin's puppet. He was chosen because of economic reasons as he had promised to heal this country's economy. Should there be no Maidan, the Ukraine would fall into Putin's hands forever. And at least the part of Ukraine located on the right bank of the Dniper river used to be historically a part of Poland and Austria and it is mentally European, not Russian.

It become embarrassing some longer time ago by supporting the extremist overthrow of democratically elected president one year before elections. Not signing the EU agreement is just not signing it at that moment, not forever. EU should have left Ukraine to organize themselves through democratic institutions. It was very bad decision which completely gave wind-push towards civil war and Putin actions.

I think this is starting to get annoying and embarrassing for Europe. Even though it’s obvious that things will take some significant time to settle, Russia and the EU should cooperate and try to make some real efforts to resolve those Ukrainian issues.
Whole Europe will suffer from all that mess! No place for that in 21 century!
